I think I have a cf

So we live in a cul de sac and facing the road is our driveway and side garden. Front door is on the other side. For a few weeks I’ve been noticing the same car driving up blocking the dropped kerb for our drive and a lady getting out and having a fag sitting on our garden wall.
That’s fine, I haven’t needed to go out when she’s been there. Her habit isn’t affecting me.
This week I was picking up the dogs mess and noticed that there’s tons of fag butts in my garden. She’s obviously just been slinging them over the fence.
Today I waited till she arrived and I went out to her to ask her to take her rubbish with her and not throw them in my garden. She told me to get fucked and she will do what she likes.
I didn’t really have any comeback for that so scuttled back inside.
Being both a coward and a nosy bitch I jotted down her car reg. Lo and behold the DVLA website says it’s not mot’d.
WIBU to tip off whoever enforces those things next time I spot her? She’s pretty regular time wise.

Do it.

@Stuckmom I think you’re me! Sneaky smoke after the morning poo pick, living the dream Blush

MrsBunTheBakersMum · 14/01/2019 18:10

Did she come back today?

Loumayb · 14/01/2019 18:12

I would defo report her to the police when she has pulled up and see if they can get a patrol car round and catch her driving with no mot, they can prosecute her.

dobbo2958 · 14/01/2019 18:13

Use your phone to video her driving the vehicle on a road. Make sure it is a right-hand drive vehicle. Include in the video the make and most important the registration number of her car. Ring your local bobby on 101. Best of luck there.... and report the incident.

PopMaster34112 · 14/01/2019 18:13

Report her for threatening behaviour.

MrsCplus · 14/01/2019 18:13

What an absolute legend your MIL is!

Maisymoo22 · 14/01/2019 18:14

Mil=Superwoman!
If cf keeps coming back even after mils antics, pour petrol over the place she parks her unmotd car, with a little trail to where she sits. when she lights up...boom!!! 💥
Obviously I’m joking 🤣

importantkath · 14/01/2019 18:17

I love your MIL

PJW16 · 14/01/2019 18:17

You’re a much better person than I am, I’ve lost it with people for much less! Cheeky cow! Her stinking fag doubts would have been getting promptly thrown in her face Grin 100% I would be reporting the no MOT thing, as another poster said, if she has no MOT then she has no valid insurance, so then what happens if she has an accident?

Think of it as karma catching up with her when she gets a wee chap at her door Wink

Commonwasher · 14/01/2019 18:17

I would just pop out next time you see her and ask if she would like to come along tomorrow as well as some of your religious friends are coming in for coffee then and she would be welcome to join you...

leannetta · 14/01/2019 18:19

I also love your mil! Just a word of caution on the MOT - the DVLA website doesn’t always differentiate between a car with no MOT and a car that doesn’t need an MOT. Is the car old enough to need one?

Shockers · 14/01/2019 18:19

If you were to smear grease over the ironwork on your wall, you could put a little laminated sign next to it, ‘politely requesting that people refrain from sitting, or leaning on the wall, and if they choose to, it’s at their own risk’.

She may lean on it just to be contrary, but the warning will be there in black and white Wink.

YouCanCallMeJodieWho · 14/01/2019 18:22

Did she come back?

Chocolateislife88 · 14/01/2019 18:23

I hope you reported her. It's bad enough she sits and chuck cigarettes in your garden, but then to be met by such a rude and aggressive response is awful! It's absolutely not okay, you shouldn't have to scuttle away into your home because someone's making you feel threatened like that.

Elle2018 · 14/01/2019 18:30

Any updates today OP? This is the best thing I’ve read in ages Grin

RedLife · 14/01/2019 18:30

Smother her with kindness. Every single time she is there, pop out with a cup of coffee, a sandwich, an umbrella if it's raining, a blanket if it's cold. Say you're sorry you upset her last time and you want to be friends. Best friends

I know you're mil 'resolved' the issue kinda but this 👆 made me piss! Grin

Best friends forever and ever and ever and...

kezzy13 · 14/01/2019 18:32

Totally not placemarking Confused

CatsCatsCats11 · 14/01/2019 18:33

Did she come back? I love your mil

FuzzyPixel · 14/01/2019 18:34

Definitely not placemarking.

I definitely need to know if GFW CF came back after the face-off with SM-Mil.

supersop60 · 14/01/2019 18:35

Bravo to your MIL! I did something like that years ago when NDN teenage son used to chuck his used condoms out of his window into our garden (small terraced houses). One day I put one of them in an envelope and delivered it through their letterbox (ha!) with a short note.

Welltroddenpath · 14/01/2019 18:39

Pour some cooking oil where she sits. In fact I would get a paint brush and paint the entire top of the wall and the front with cooking oil.
Nasty minger

Weathermonger · 14/01/2019 18:40

I hope one day I will be as feisty as your MIL !

Spiderbabe13 · 14/01/2019 18:43

Report her for her car,her abuse and her littering. She shouldn't even be sat on your property or blocking your drive. Never let anyone see they're intimidating you. More than one way to skin a dead cat. Good luck.

Flamingle18 · 14/01/2019 18:43

A guy I clean for kept getting bags of dog poo thrown in his garden so I got him a cctv sign for in his window as a deterrant. It worked and much cheaper than actual cctv !
